Community Patrol Coordinator Barry Renshaw signed on for three months and stayed 12 years. Barry took on the job as patrol coordinator to keep things going but continued helping the Wainuiomata community patrol become the very successful patrol it is.
Recipient of a Civic Award in 2009, Barry has shown true leadership in supporting the activities of the patrol.
The Community Patrols of New Zealand held their national training seminar here in Lower Hutt and it was a great success. Local coordinators and community patrol members were involved in organising the event over the past two years. The Seminar attracted more than 360 delegates to Lower Hutt.
People see what community patrols achieve. They are out there in the suburbs keeping an eye out and liaising with Police. The result is that crime in Lower Hutt is steadily reducing and that’s a good thing. The Community Patrols and the Neighbourhood Groups are helping residents feel safe in our city.
